Diagnosis.

( Condé 1956; Sendra et al. 2020 b): Slightly troglomorphic species. Antennae with 34–37 antennomeres; five olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ of a possibly regenerated antenna; non-protruding frontal process with non tuberculate setae. Pronotum with 1 + 1 ma, 4 + 4 la, 2 + 2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1 + 1 ma, 2 + 2 la, 2 + 2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1 + 1 ma, 2 + 2 lp macrosetae; long, large, barbed notal macrosetae; smooth clothing setae. Two ventral tibial macrosetae; subequal claws (1.05–1.1) with middle-sized lateral crests, posterior claw with no backward overhang. Urotergites I – III with 1 + 1 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1 + 1 la, 2 + 2 post macrosetae; urotergites V – VII with 1 + 1 la, 4 + 4 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6 + 6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8 + 8 post macrosetae; urosternite I with 7 + 7, urosternites II – VII with 5 + 5, urosternite VIII with 2 + 2 macrosetae. Male with narrow area of glandular g 1 setae, enlarged subcylindrical appendages with up to 60 glandular a 1 setae; female with slender, subcylindrical appendages.

Habitat and distribution.

Subterranean species, known from Saint-Jean-le-Prodrome Cave (Spilaio Pelade) and from Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) near Xánthi, in the Macedonian region of Greece. Here, we report the species also from a cave on Thasos Island, which is not surprising given its close proximity to the mainland (Fig. 21 ).
